Language Points

1.I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones.

1) I think 为主句，后面是省略了连接词that的宾语从句。如：I think maths is more difficult than English.

2) ones 作代词，指代wonders. ones 指代复数名词，同类不同物。如: These pictures are more colourful than those ones. 

2. Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I’m not sure I agree with you.

1) 并列连词so 连接两个分句， 表因果关系。如：The work has been finished, so you needn’t come.

2) be (not) sure (不) 确定。 其后接不定式，也可接从句。如：I’m sure to come.

I’m not sure you are right.

3. They’re about 1,700 metres wide and 100 metres high.

物体长、宽、高等的表达为：数词+计量词+ long/wide/high. 它相当于 “ 数词+计量词+in length/width/height”. 

如：The river is about 2,000 metres long. = The river is about 2,000 metres in length.

2. ancient adj. 远古的；古代的 =  very old

an ancient civilization 古代文明 

He is studying ancient history in the university.  

他在大学研究古代历史。

ancient  常用来修饰物

old 可以用来修饰人、动物和事物

adj. 自古以来的，古老的 

an ancient custom 古老的习惯 

But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. 

但是, 在我看来, 人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。

本句中natural ones 与 man-made wonders 

相对应 ones 代替前面提到的wonders。

in one’s opinion 表示“按某人的意见;据某人看来”。

Who, in your opinion, is the best football 

player in the world today?在你看来，谁是当

今世界上最好的足 球运动员？
